Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 359 Crisis
"My lord, it's getting late, why don't you rest in the small woods in front tonight?" The guard on the horse, dressed in blue, looked at Su Zhiyuan and asked him.

"En, let's do this." He raised his head to look at the sky, and seeing that it was still clear, Su Zhiyuan nodded in response.

With Su Zhiyuan's approval, the guard in blue turned his head and gave instructions to the people behind him. Several people urged their horses forward and went to the forest to choose a fairly flat open space.

After getting off the horse, Su Zhiyuan handed the horse over to the guard beside him, while he walked a few steps in the open space to move his body.

The guards have a clear division of labor. Some go to the forest to look for wild animals, some look for water sources nearby, and some are responsible for collecting dry firewood to make fires to repel mosquitoes and deter wild animals.

"My lord, please sit down and rest for a while." Passing the kettle in his hand to Su Zhiyuan, the previous guard in green said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Zhiyuan said with a smile after taking the water bottle.

This group of guards in Tsing Yi were all trained by his son Su Qinghan. Usually, only a small number of them followed him. This time he went out for a long time, so most of them were sent by his son Su Qinghan to his side.

Along the way, the Tsing Yi guards saved Su Zhiyuan a lot of things and troubles. Su Zhiyuan was really grateful to them in his heart.

"My lord, you are welcome." After Su Zhiyuan finished drinking the water, the guard in green took the water bottle and went to busy himself with other things.

Sitting under the tree, Su Zhiyuan watched everyone busy, although he wanted to help, but he knew that he was definitely not helping, so he simply continued to sit.

About half an hour later, the guards who went out to hunt game returned to the open space, holding the packed wild animals in their hands.

Put all these wild animals on the fire and roast them. At this time, the open space has been tidied up very well. Just waiting for the food to be eaten, they can be ready to rest at any time.

"My lord, dinner is ready, shall we eat?" After a long day of exhaustion, the guard in green came to Su Zhiyuan's side when the wild animals were roasted, and said in a respectful tone.

In response, Su Zhiyuan got up, and followed the guards in blue to the fire, and together with the guards, shared the dry food bought on the way and the roasted wild animals.

"My lord, there is a water source nearby, which is very good. If you want to wash up, you can go there to wash up after dinner, and this subordinate will accompany you."

Along the way, they didn't encounter any danger, and the weather was calm all the time. The guard in Tsing Yi couldn't help lowering his vigilance a bit.

"Alright, I'll thank you for your hard work." As it's hot today, Su Zhiyuan is living outside for the past few days, Su Zhiyuan's body is uncomfortable, and when he heard that there is a water source, he feels very happy.

Seeing that Su Zhiyuan responded, after eating, the two left the team and approached the water source.

The water source was not too far from the resting place, and within a quarter of an hour, the two came to the river.

The river is not in a hurry, because the sky is not yet completely dark, so the situation of the river can be seen clearly.

"The water is pretty good, it's very clear." It's definitely not okay to go in and take a bath, but it's not a problem at all to scrub the body. Su Zhiyuan looked around, and then stretched out his hand, ready to take off the clothes on his upper body. Wipe your upper body with a handkerchief dampened with water.

"My lord, be careful!" Before Su Zhiyuan untied the belt of his clothes, the guard in blue suddenly spoke, warning Su Zhiyuan.

Su Zhiyuan is also a person with some skills. Hearing the sound, he subconsciously dodged to the side. Fortunately, the guards in Tsing Yi shouted in time, otherwise, Su Zhiyuan would have been injured by now.

"My lord, are you alright?" He stretched out his hand to support Su Zhiyuan, and the guards in blue looked around. Around the two of them, there were quite a few men in black with shiny big knives in their hands, watching them covetously. .

Seeing these black-clothed men, the green-clothed guards understood that they had underestimated the enemy, and these people were probably waiting for this opportunity.

Thinking of this, the Tsing Yi guard took out the signal from his arms and threw it into the air.

A brilliant signal bloomed in the air, and the blue-clothed guards protected Su Zhiyuan behind him, and comforted him, "Don't worry, my lord, they will come over soon, and my subordinates will definitely protect you!"

Hearing what the easy guard said, Su Zhiyuan nodded. He was still a little nervous, but he knew that in front of these black-clothed men, he must never show timidity.

The two sides confronted each other, and no one made the first move. Although judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the people in black had the advantage, but the people in black still did not make the first move.

The guard in Tsing Yi also held a weapon in his hand, and he looked towards the forest calmly, expecting his brothers to appear as soon as possible. After all, if it was just him, he was really outnumbered.

A quarter of an hour passed, and there was no movement in the forest. Whether it was the guards in Tsing Yi or Su Zhiyuan, worries arose in their hearts.

When the two came just now, the speed was not considered fast, so they walked for a quarter of an hour. It stands to reason that they should have come faster after receiving the signal, but they have not come for so long, which can only explain one thing, That is, they are in danger.

Thinking of this, both of them felt chills in their hearts. If there were only a few men in black present, everything would be easy to talk about. If the two of them fight together, they might be able to fight their way out.

But now, there are more than a dozen men in black surrounding them, no matter how capable they are, they are outnumbered.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Lowering his voice, the guard in blue asked Su Zhiyuan's opinion. In his opinion, there was no other way but to sink the boat.

The river behind him was too shallow, and it was too difficult to jump into the river to escape, but apart from the river behind him, only this group of men in black remained.

"Hit if you can beat it, die if you can't beat it, anyway, there are only two ways." Although Su Zhiyuan was nervous, he still pretended to be very calm, and comforted the guards in green who were blocking him.

When Su Zhiyuan said so, the Tsing Yi guards understood that there are only two paths to choose right now...

…………

"Drive! Drive!" On the official road, several fast horses were galloping. Even though the sky was getting dark, they still couldn't resist the footsteps of these people.

Originally, several people planned to rest, but when they saw the signal, they suddenly became nervous. They speeded up and rushed towards the direction of the signal.

When they were approaching Su Zhiyuan and the others, those black-clothed people who had been maintaining a confrontation finally understood. They approached Su Zhiyuan and the green-clothed guards step by step. The ferocity in their eyes almost tore the two of them apart... …
